"The newest twist in the cupcake craze "

Cupcakes make the perfect building blocks for fun and creative-shaped cakes. With this book, you can make a purple hippo, spotted puppy, princess tiara, dump truck, lollipops, hedgehog, and much more. No special pans are required--just cupcakes. And cupcake cakes are perfect for parties and crowds, because the cake can be easily pulled apart into individual cupcake servings.
